elcome and thank you for joining us today for the 21st Anniversary of the Capital Area Health Alliance. The Alliance was incorporated in 1993 as a coalition of organizations, Wbusinesses, health care professionals, and volunteers from Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties to facilitate improvements in healthy living, access, quality, and cost, in health resources in the tri-county area. This year, the work of the Alliance has enabled accomplishments such as: The Capital Area Community Nursing Network’s celebration of Nurses Week with a continuing education program. This committee has highlighted nursing practice and workforce issues and expanded available nursing teaching and learning opportunities. The Capital Area Physician Experience (CAPE) sponsored its 6th “Dine Around” to introduce MSU medical students to local physicians to enhance recruitment and retention of physicians. In spring of 2015, CAPE will offer a speaker panel on regional activities to recruit physicians. The End-of-Life Care Committee has been addressing issues associated with best practices and opportunities for interdisciplinary integration for end-of-life issues and is planning a symposium for spring 2015. The Healthy Lifestyles Committee (HLC) was renewed for funding for the 2015 Michigan Health and Wellness 4 x 4 Grant. Through the 4 x 4 grant, the HLC is working to increase access to physical activity opportunities, work with local restaurants to highlight healthy menu items, and engage worksites to adopt new policies related to health and wellness. The Mental Health Partnership Council worked to advocate for availability and equality for mental health patients. This year, hundreds of people attended presentations dealing with numerous mental health issues. The creation of the Healthcare Workforce Committee, approved by the Board of Directors and designed to address the number, availability and mix of care providers as well as understand the best practices that serve to enhance the healthcare workforce and health in the Capital Area. This morning’s activities will include the presentation of the 11th annual Community Service Awards, 7th annual Nursing Excellence Award, 4th annual Physician Recruitment and Retention Leadership Award, and nd a 2 annual Healthy Lifestyles/Choosing Health!® Advancement Award, all presented to individuals and organizations who helped to further the mission, goals, and values of the Alliance. And, we’ll hear our guest speaker, Melanie Brim, who will help us understand the changing health care workforce and the development of innovative programs to ensure that every Michigan community has access to health care professionals. We hope this is a valuable experience for you. The strength of the Alliance is the people who contribute their time, talents, resources, and expertise in order to make a difference in our community.
